Discover Hunter Douglas Green

For over 60 years, Hunter Douglas has been creating and offering natural and appealing ways to harness heat and light. In the winter, heat leaves through the window when you need it, yet becomes trapped inside in the summer when you don't. Heat loss and gain drive our energy usage up. It can be felt in our monthly utility bills and calculated in our collective carbon emissions.

Today, Hunter Douglas is committed to lowering our energy usage and implementing other changes that will ultimately reduce our carbon footprint by 20%. Our overriding goal, though, is to help our customers everywhere save energy the natural way by effectively channeling and exploiting the natural power of the sun.

INSPIRATION IS ALL AROUND YOU

Reinvent a Room’s Lighting with Blinds & Shutters

There are many kinds of light: filtered, direct, reflected, indirect, natural, so you want to enjoy as much variety as you can in your room. Too many people treat a window as a mere hole in the wall; it’s much more satisfying to think of windows with blinds or shades that control the light coming through as an integral part of the room. Light comes from two opposite extremes: from the untouched corners of natural sun and from room light. If you can incorporate the effects of both – filtered light with louvered shutters, blinds, or shades and strategically placed artificial room lighting; you will have something really special. Hunter Douglas room décors’ provide these options. JustRightBlinds.blogspot.com, www.JustRightBlinds.vpweb.com

You Should Borrow as Much as You Possible Can from the View Outside.

Think of Your Blinds and Shades as Links Rather than Barriers.


There’s a wonderful world outside your windows, and it is my belief that you should borrow as much as possible and use it inside. Claim that view outside your window by breaking down the barrier between interior and exterior. Window blinds and shades help that transition. Try this single trick: Select an arrangement of natural clippings or flowers from the world outside your window; make it a part of your inside space. This visual connection brings the view inside, creating a feeling of a much larger room. For blinds and shutters that let the outside in, contact Todd Zimmerman, 630.292.3756,
